Being here without Jess and Sophie, no matter how many other people are here, can be pretty lonely. If you are lucky enough to be married to someone that you both love and like (especially when they are your best friend) you know what I am talking about. When you get finished with a long […]
I almost named this post “Sophie’s First Christmas” just so everyone would read it, but I thought that would be a little dishonest. I also know that we have not finished introducing you to each of our kids, but we definitely will. I just wanted to take some time to write this blog as I […]
I am sitting here in Haiti just waiting for the kids to come home from school and missing Jess and Sophie back home, so I thought I would take a few minutes to continue our blog series about each of our kids. Our last blog was entitled “Meet Sophie,” and if you click on the […]
I know that many of you got a chance to read Jessica’s blog about our new baby girl, but I couldn’t not write about her too. So today, meet Sophie Hayes Bush…again. Sophie is just over a week old and she is already beautiful and adorable. I know you cannot tell much about a person […]
Today I want to introduce you to the newest addition to All Things New…Hiwerli Dorrin. If this is your first time reading one of our blogs, we are in the middle of a series where we introduce our readers to each of our children on an individual basis. I highly recommend you reading our previous […]
If you have missed any of our previous blogs, I would encourage you to go back and read about each of our kids. I will link back to the previous 3 posts, and you can use these links to go back to the very beginning if you would like…Woodlerxe, Fedeline, Mvinsley. Today, it is my […]
This is the 3rd in our series of blogs about the kids. Hopefully you have already gotten a chance to read about Apolon and Gladine but if not it would be great to go back and get caught up, just click on their name and it will send you to their blog. Our hope is […]
First of all, I wanted to remind everyone of a very important blog series that we are about to start. In the next couple of weeks, you will begin to see blog posts about each of our children. We are hoping to use these blog posts to give each of our sponsors and supporters a […]
First of all, we know many people have been asking about how we are after Tropical Storm Erika came through this past weekend. The short answer is that we are ok, the long answer is that we are so ok that our kids still had soccer practice the Saturday morning after Erika hit Friday night. […]
Just to let you know, there is not a lot of school news to fill you in on, so I wanted to post a blog about something that occurred to me as we showed the children the movie “Elf” this past Friday night. First of all, as far as school news goes, we did get […]
We are taking a quick break from our series about starting school here in Haiti. There are so many other things going on down here in conjunction with the start of school including our adoption (click here to read our story and for an option to donate to our adoption), elections, botched election results, and […]
When we came back from spending a month in the states, one of the best new things we drove up to was a new basketball court! We had a generous donation made to cover the cost of the slab, the goals, and a couple of new basketballs, and we drove up to see the new […]
